I am looking forward to it actually. Quite like a big spectacle now and again! Was going to watch the film first but never got round to it. I think it's good - and unusual - to have no preconceptions though.

Where is Leonard Cohen playing this time? Would love to see him for a fourth time. It doesn't get old, even if he is.

Is this what you were trying to do

[Zoo Music Girl]

Yeah, yeah, sure it will be

I think he'll be playing live until he drops dead now. Hasn't he been on tour for about six years?

Wish I was going but had to put a gig ticket ban on myself after my last splurge.

Looking forward to the gig on Saturday. Never seen Waters live before.

Looking forward to Saturday as well. A great bookend to a great summer.

Elton John and Roger Waters in the space of 6 days. Good times.

Atom Heart Mother and/or the studio half of Ummagumma for me. I think the Wall is better than you're making out - it just needs work and the right mood.

Never owned the Final Cut. I only know Fletcher memorial home from it I think. Is it worth purchasing or, as I suspect, would it be a waste of money.

aye, I've got probably the worst seat in the house and it still cost over fifty quid.

I understand your position, you'll still be paying off that nick cave ticket this time next year wont you....

[russycarps]

Also Goodbye Blue Sky, Young Lust and One of My turns are great tunes.

The trial does go on and on and the trouble is it pretty much ends the album, so that's the lasting memory. If you stop the album after waiting for the worms, or even Run like hell, then musically it's a better memory - however the story is incomplete so depends how much that bothers you I suppose.

will the bars at Wembley be showing the Everton v Chelski game?

Russy. You need to click "share" under the youtube video and then paste in that link.

Was Elton John any good at Bestival? I've seen no reviews or footage at all. He's someone I'd like to see, but don't think I'd ever pay his ticket prices

yeah saw Elton at Bestival - his first UK festival in 35 years apparently

I thought he was utterly brilliant. He's still an amazing showman, amazing pianist and singer, has a really great band and did a two hour greatest hit set packed with some of the all time great songs.

Was just a really really great festival moment. Obviously meant a lot to him as well. He would be a fantastic pyramid stage headliner.

[Zoo Music Girl]

Does Bestival pay that well then?

[Ed209]

I guess they paid him a fair amount. He said on stage that it was the good things he'd heard about bestival that convinced him to play, but he probably doesn't come cheap. Elton is used to Vegas style pay days.

Need to correct what I originally said, it was his first UK festival in 45 years! He did seem to love it a lot though, its probably very different to the type of crowds he's usually used to. It could well tempt him to do some more.

[russycarps]

just reading a review of bestival, I see the odious nile rodgers was there. He said

""All this shit you hear tonight are songs I wrote,"

And what a selection of songs they were, featuring instantly-recognisable tracks from their own back catalogue (Le Freak) as well as the umpteen brilliant pop songs (Madonna's Like a Virgin, Bowie's Let's Dance)"

You wrote Let's Dance did you Nile? hmmmm? Lying whopper

both were the best choices on offer for different reasons.

Those who went to see the Arctic Monkeys are the losers.

not entirely - around half the 200+ shows he typically does each year are not pay-days at all. They're done for charity.

I hate Elton with a vengeance BTW, but it seems that he does much more to balance out his excesses than most other stars.
